Don’t Miss These 15 NEW Skyrim Mods! (November 2023)

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Which mods were the most interesting to you today? For me, it's hard to choose, but if I had to: Windstad, Argonians, and Berserkyr!

[@CaptainGreenCoin]

I've had my eye on that Argonian mod but i have been waiting for a version of it that does all Argonian in the game

[@Karatejin]

@@CaptainGreenCoin You mean something like "BeastHHBB - Khajiit and Argonian content - player character and NPC replacer"?

[@ThePanickedMonk]

I like when mods make a location more interesting. While I've not been a big marsh person, I'm warming up to it and the mushroom and Windstad mods would certainly help. And, the Argonian mod is definitely a nice touch. Berserkyr, would make a really interesting story. Perhaps the character didn't feel comfortable with the companions, but still felt 'different'. Or maybe they were rejected by the companions...Idk, a lot of rp with that, I think. :)

[@Karatejin]

That would be 🥇Magpie 🥈Bersekyr About Morthal, its surroudings, the marsh. I created a mod back in 2014 and, among many things, it adds a house in the swamp, close to Movarth's Lair. That being said...that place freaks me out a little bit. I usually don't spend much time in there. The same for Fallow Mire in Dragon Age Inquisition. You can take some dope shots in there with that amazing moon but...whatever I've got to do there, I make it fast!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

@@Karatejin Oh yes, the marshes are definitely creepy, but somehow comforting for some reason xD But I do see what you mean!

[@julesco_]

Hey, Leptonaz here, WINDSTAD's author! Thank you so so much for featuring it! As someone who's been following your channel for a while, this is an honor ♥ As always, wonderful video overhaul, great editing and now I can say that you truly do justice to the mods you review. Also, having a potato in lieu of a computer, seing WINDSTAD come to life in such a beautiful graphics setup was truly magical. Thank you so much!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Oh hey!! :D

[@Jules-69lol]

Thanks for your work, fellow Jules!

At this Point, Pulcharmsolis is just showing off 😅

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Haha, yeah they're just amazing at what they do, a true professional!

[@pandawhite5049]

The liveliness you put on your videos has a healing effect 😅, sometimes I watch not even for the mods, but just for the good feeling I get after it ☺, so thank you!!! Windstead looks awesome and I get the feelind that JohnSkyrim gonna ending up making everything else SMIM doesn't cover.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

[@basti585]

Serana has so many looks but Marty's mod is my favorite by far We need a follower with your voice 😏

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

It is truly a work of art, she looks so pretty! And haha, maybeeee, maybe someday 🤠

[@basti585]

Really? guys... 2:30 😆

[@gonzeh]

So happy you love the new release of Carriages of Skyrim. Me and JobiWan managed to make it as I 1st envisioned it when I made the original version. Thanks for the showcase inclusion :)

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Absolutely great work on it, I love to see two great minds working together with their own strengths and creating something so cool! Thanks for the mod guys :)

[@TheRomanShadow]

I've been waiting for Blood Not Included to see how it looks in-game, and I am not disappointed.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Yay! It's a super cool overhaul.

[@wolf8088]

I completed Skyrim long ago... through my college years...recently I started playing again …and this time with lots of MODS...I think your channel is the reason for me to get back to it...for your beautiful presentation...so thank u very much...

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Hey Wolf, thanks for watching and I'm happy these videos bring you joy!

[@Smol_PC]

Imagine a mod where you can initiate a deadric ritual! It would be so immersing for a vampire or necromancer playthrough; create altars, sacrifices, effects, spells, or even animations with voice! I would love if this already exists, if not... steal this comment idea please!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Seconding that! :D

[@wod5203]

Oh yeah! I'm glad you featured Magpie Manor, do you watch Fabrith Darkstars' videos? She exclusively focuses on Player Homes, both in Skyrim and Fallout 4, she covered this release a few days ago, and I was blown away both by the video and in-game. Perfect for an Imperial transplant from Cyrodil such as myself, everything I would want in or on the fringes of the great city! The location isn't very popular so it probably won't conflict with any other home mods. It's in a decent area, along a river, and just slightly off of the road, so passersby won't interrupt my studies or solace. The only drawback is the file size, I had to download it two times because it takes a while and during that time the file got corrupted/interrupted and wouldn't install. I might try the 'evil' looking Serana mod just to change it up a bit, been using Seranaholic (v6 I think) for a while, but then what do I do for Valerica? Decisions, decisions... Great video as usual!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Oh, yes, I watched her video about the manor, and it helped me find how to set the table! xD Very useful, and really love how she really goes in deep with these player homes. And, thank you!

[@peepee4381]

Oh my god tysm for showing that 2nd Serana overhaul - I love how she doesn’t just look like a doll but she’s still pretty and fits that dead girl aesthetic. Might be my new favorite

[@vanyakalinka8305]

Those Children of the Hist sampler designs look very cool

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

They're amazing!!! Allonsywisegirl slaying it as always!

[@Vince26010]

For me it was January 2014, when my wife bought me the PS3 version of the beast for my birthday. I didn't know anything about Tamriel or the Elders Scrolls back then. I fell instantly in love with this new lore. Few months later, I heard about mods and I watched KZbin videos on modding with ever growing envy. in December 2016, I finally decided to invest in a pc, so I could play Skyrim with a ton of mods. I bought every pc components I needed to built one in my living room, and I called it "The Skyrim machine". Nine years after my discovery of that famous jewel of a game, I still have the "skyrim machine". It's been upgraded since of course, but I still play Skyrim on it, Anniversary Edition though. I must say that the modding community and their mods nowadays are astonishingly amazing. Thanks to the community I really own my game, meaning I can make it any way I want it to be. To me, and I'm pretty sure, to a whole bunch of folks out there, Skyrim is and always will be unforgettable. Truly the best video game and the best community ever.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Aww what a story!

[@percyj220]

I love how so few of these mods have been covered by other youtubers. This channel has exactly the variety I've been looking for

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Oh that makes me happy!! Glad you enjoy the videos

[@JobiWan-UK]

Thanks for featuring Carriages of Skyrim 2.0. Had a lot of fun helping on that.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Great to see you guys collaborating, and thank you for the mod! It's now honestly quite perfect, with all the added lines and polishing.

[@presidentofswag9157]

Wow 12 years of skyrim! I still remember being a 12 year old palying skyrim in my ps3! I never though I would be playin this game to this day... and all thanks to passionate mod and content creators like BCG!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

It's craazzyyy I never thought I'd be here either! xD but here we are! Modders keep carrying this game, it's awesome. Such a fun ecosystem 😅

[@tobybll]

I downloaded Magpie Manor around 2 weeks ago and I must say, visually it is probably the best player home mod I've ever seen. Although the style fits way more into the Witcher than into Skyrim, this house is such a beauty. The only thing that kept me from keeping it is that my FPS dropped heavy when being there and idk why. My PC handles a 700+ modlist but being there made my PC go brrrrr.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

I agree, it's definitely not "Skyrim style"- beautiful as ever, nonetheless! The house is full of custom assets so that could be why :( a high draw call count if I had to guess!

[@reacaoanimada9455]

You know, this version of Serana at 10:50 is remarkably kinda scarry. She reminds me a lot of a curious thing. You guys know about the "sleeping paralisys demon" effect, that appears to be different according to country and culture, that people tend to see the same form deppending on region? In brazil the most commonly reported vision of this "demon" is the "Pisadeira" which is a tall pale woman with long cruly black hair and red eyes, appears to be sexy and beautiful but uppon close look is too scarry with distorted features, long nails and a cruel face, and she steps on the chest of the ones she haunts, hence her name that means somethign like "female steper" or "the woman who steps (on you)". I knwo it is silly but I had to tell it lol

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Ohhhhh yes I won't sleep tonight 😳

[@KptSakke]

While the Windhelm bridge mod makes the bridge a bit more livelier, I wish the whole town would be bigger and feel more like one of the larger cities in skyrim... Maybe I'm just hoping it would be like in the ESO... It just feels so lively there, thought I can't say the same about ESO 😅

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Feels like it's always either or, a big city, or deep NPCs... if we had both that would be amazing!

[@slimeytoad]

Windhhelm just a ugly city i cant make it look outstanding

[@666sentrax]

Try Windhelm Bridge Revived, it's the best looking Windhelm Bridge mod out there in my opinion. Also Capital Windhelm Expansion for the city itself.

[@skezeksskybreaker5425]

​@svrreal It feels like a prison sadly. I am really happy JK interiors made the indoor places pretty cool. Also the JK Outskirts adds a nice touch. I like Snowy Windhelm but ultimately decided not to go with it to keep potential bugs down.

[@darnok6407]

For a bigger Windhelm, like commented before , there's Capital Windhelm Expanded. I've been using that since forever

[@abelhnm]

I really liked the curly Serana, it reminds me of Anna Valerious from the Van Helsing movie! M'lady, You know one thing that would be epic? Is if you start a playthrough (as a bard of course lol) where in your travels, you narrate your adventures or narrete your journal writings or something like that. Cheers!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Well that is an interesting suggestion to be sure! We'll see. Cheers! 🍻

[@lazariusIII]

@@BardsCollegeGraduateI’d definitely watch that playthrough

[@alessiodaniotti264]

Winstad town is a blessed mod. I always wanted to improve the holds by adding a couple of towns for each one (a country with most holds with only one town beside the capital always felt empty to me), but Hjaalmarch was the land that get least attention from the "new town" modders. Winstad town not only is very good looking and simple, but it seems to integrate well with the Hearthfire manor, and is located in a place not so close to other towns (both vanilla and added by mods), giving it some use as a rest/trade-point, and in a place where a town could be build, on the coast and near the road that lead to Dawnstar.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

I agree- it is such a great mod. Adds a lot to the area. I will always recommend it to anyone after trying it out!

[@alessiodaniotti264]

@@BardsCollegeGraduate I take this opportunity to congratulate you, your mod showcases are well made, and i often look at them for some tips on new mods. Thanks to the effort! PS: As a plus, your voice is very relaxing!

​@@alessiodaniotti264Well aren't you sweet, thank you so much!! 🤩

I particularly love WINDSTAD mod and JK's Solitude Outskirt, in fact, any mod that modifies cities, towns and settlements are welcome in my load order. Nice video 👍

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Thank you Dovahkiir! I'm also a big fan of towns mods, they make the game so cozy.

[@TheCorpsehatch]

Trueblood Serana combined with Serana Dialogue Add-On is the definitive version of Serana.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

I see, I bet they work very well together!

[@ajfgaming7387]

Also, JS's mods are absolutely unparalleled. The quality of his work is absolutely astonishing! Really hope he redoes the unique weapons

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Definitely, they're always top quality, one of my favourite modders ever.

[@charlieboone1298]

9:27 Sounds like the dude's propositioning.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

lmao

[@ThePanickedMonk]

Another set of mods to check out. While I cannot say for sure, I am leaning towards the BLOOD NOT INCLUDED Serana overhaul. And the mushroom mod looks really interesting. Thanks again for another quality set of mod options!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching Monk

[@leonv1472]

i've never seen a serana replacer i really liked before, they always either make her generically pretty or weeby or something else that just makes her lose something. blood not included though? i really like it. it gives her an edge that even the vanilla version lacked.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Yup that is true! I think she canonically needs a bit of an edge.

[@samuelsun3560]

nachooey's serana is based on his old one she has a more purple-ly tint I think nachooey wanted to update serana more

[@Prof.GoodFeels88]

Some of these awesome mods I've already added to my LO, and seeing others in game here has convinced me to add a couple more. One major release that happened only a couple of days ago that would be a cool showcase is meridia's order, a large vigilant-esqu (maybe not quite that level though) questline mod.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Oh yes I need to try out Meridia's Order, I'm really interested in seeing how it's like!

[@conversesarecool]

Thanks for featuring Children of the Hist! Lovely work as usual :D

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

THEY LOOK AMAZING! 😭😭

[@wolfwilkopter2231]

I really like the 2nd Serana Mod, reminds me of the Vampires in the Movie "30 Days of Night". Also the new JK outskirts mod is just aweseome and the new Cabbage ENB looks like a worthy tryout to maybe replace Pi-Cho ENB with. And dont get me started on Magpie Manor, saw that one Febrith Darkstars channel and it just blew me away. Thx, nice video as always. 😊

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Definitely try Cabbage out, although from what I've seen, Pi-Cho is also a great ENB! Thanks! :)

[@b0z0_izai]

hope that new students are welcome ! i just started a new skyrim playthru and having a cool BARD COLLEGE to attend to is awesome !

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Of course! 🎶🎶

[@EchoesofOld]

As always, BCG's videos are basically a mod shopping list. This time around its easy as I've already downloaded most of em... (plus I've finally followed through on my threat of starting a Shattered playthrough after her last video)

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Hahaha! :D That's what I like to hear. Update me on the Shattered playthrough, how's it going? It can be a pain, but so rewarding when you finally get stronger!

[@EchoesofOld]

@BardsCollegeGraduate now that I've removed OBIS it's great! Thought I wanted to keep OBIS for shattered but I've decided to remove it for now cuz either the difficulty tunes down that the new bandits (mages specifically) are bearable but the druagur are laughable, or it tunes up to where Draugur are challenging and Bandits are a death sentence. So far I've been able to clear Falkreath, Riverwood (Abjects boss) and Percy's Dragon (Knights of None). Once Kiddo goes down for his afternoon nap I think Whiterun is next on the todo list...

[@AmyraCarter]

0:10 🤣🤣 6:44 Makes me think of Yoshimitsu, from the Soul Calibur series. ... I just realized; you're heterochromatic (your irises are two different hues). That's cool. I definitely like the premise of Magpie Manor for the same reasons I liked Clockwork Castle (though Clockwork Castle doesn't cost anything).

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Hehe, you noticed! One eye is blue, the other brown. And Magpie Manor and Clockwork Castle do have a similar aesthetic, both are incredible!

[@Rocky-or4rz]

Another wonderful video, I really enjoy the quality that you bring, after your comment about the Skyrim characters rooting for Finland I got curious and discovered your about page on your channel says Finland on it, so I'm assuming you are Finnish, there's always nice to see people from Finland being a part of the Skyrim community, My grandfather was 100% Finnish but my family has lived in the US for generations, still thank you for your content

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Hey, thank you so much! And yes, I'm Finnish :D Hope you keep some of the traditions going over there in the U.S., like going to sauna (the proper way) 😄

[@Rocky-or4rz]

@@BardsCollegeGraduate I grew up in the upper peninsula of Michigan and there is a huge Finnish culture there, I'd be willing to bet it's the largest percentage of Finnish people outside of Finland, but everybody has a sauna there, I definitely grew up with them lol, I also have to regularly correct people on how to pronounce it and inform them it is a Finnish word so therefore it's pronounced that way

[@jrj5893]

A lot of these are Really lovely! I especially like the Carriages and Winstad expanded - when I first started playing with Hearthfire I was a little disappointed at how little it actually added, so this definitely helps. The textures are also really easy on the eye. I've been following the creator doing the beast races (and it looks like they're going to be doing more mer than just the Orsimer!) since you showcased Project ja-Kha'jay and have never been disappointed by the skill and detail that goes into their work. One thing that I really wish was more utilized in player homes is an aspect that Legacy of the Dragonborn's safehouse has, where if you add food to specific containers the food appears somewhere nearby, like apples filling a bowl or a horker loaf appearing on a dinner plate. I had SUCH a kick out of that trying to figure out what all the foods were, and it was also a thing for other clutter - having a cabinet fill up with silver (or anything, really) as I added items just tickled something in my brain.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

I'm happy that you liked them! I haven't played LotD but that mechanic sounds really cool, that would be an amazing feature on any player home!

[@jrj5893]

@@BardsCollegeGraduate LotD is absolutely a fantastic mod and makes for a really good addon while you're going through the vanilla quests. It also has a lot of lore tied with it, which I'm a sucker for lol I really like adding to the exhibits, and while it can be cumbersome to add the plugins for any other mods you have that it can connect to I really do feel like it's worth it.

[@MajorVonSakke]

Nice video! I love these kinds of cozy homes, back in the days I loved Valkyrja Estate, it perfectly suited my needs, but this mod's not available anymore... I recently searched for equivalent homes, but unfortunately most of them are too smalll or don't have high resolution textures, so the details are always a bit "blurry". Last one I tried was "Maple Manor SSE", love the half-timbering style (makes me think of my country :p ), but maybe too much things inside, kinda lacks of space, and there's no racks for armors/weapons/special items. Do you know other cosy homes/estates in high resolution (like 4k maybe)? Thank you and keep it up

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Thanks! Right now no other estates come in mind, but I hope you find the perfect one.

[@SandGentleman]

@@BardsCollegeGraduate They're pretty fun mods, though most of them honestly seem to offer similar functionality to what already exists in Mysticism, if you use that mod. Mostly Necrotic, Inquisition, and to some extent Stellaris add new enough spell types to be worth adding to a Mysticism load order. But that's just my opinion lol

Good evening Bard!! It feels good to be back and I set to work on bingeing your past videos I missed. Cabbage ENB looks amazing but I gotta say I am curious to see how it'd run on my little PC. I built it over 10 years ago now for £600 (684 Euro) and so far the only thing I've had to upgrade is the memory with a new 1TB SSD. It still runs new AAA titles almost flawlessly with all the original parts but seeing your specs there made me do a double take. If a PC like yours is having trouble running ENBs then I kinda wanna see how well mine can run ENBs The Berserkyr mod seems like it'd be a good Companions Quest Patch seeing how shallow it was. I'm always on the lookout for mods that improve the Companions and College quests in good ways as usually it's just... eh... Definitely some good potential for this mod though JK's Solitude Outskirts looks amazing!! I have to admit you've changed me into a JK Fangirl and I'm not even a girl. Hannah would be mortified if I turned out to just suddenly be one though. Children of the hist is an interesting take seeing as I am a fan of Shavee and Scouts Dynamic Torch Idles would be great for immersion investment. Be a good addition for those Fairy Crop Circles and the Windstad mods. It'd be nice to have some company up there as I usually buy the land, build on it and never return ever again Wayrest Sellsword Set seems so interesting. Also don't think I didn't notice what you did with the music there. Great use of it, well done The Parralax mod seems cool. Sometimes it's nice to have a touch up of forgotten buildings that are different structures to the cities. But it'd be good to patch some of those holes finally. Honestly I'm not sure how the people of Skyrim ever stay warm The Mushroom grass seems cool. Certainly an interesting take and it'd be a good way to make Mushroom foraging harder. It reminds me of a Parasitic Mushroom I studied. Interesting topic really I personally use the Serana Re-Imagined SE mod by Froztee. There is even one for Valerica there also. It's a nice mesh of Lore friendly and beauty Without the usual tastelessness of at least 75% of the Skyrim mods being Skimpy. Also I personally hated the glowing sun eyes they gave Vampires so I also got a mod that reverts them to the Blood red they used to be. So much better. Argonians and Khajiit also got a unique variant of eyes for vampirism which vanished also with the addition of the awful Sun Eyes Magpie Manor actually seems really grand and pretty!! It's rare I take a shining to custom made Player Homes but this one looks amazing. A little too focused on cramming everything in perhaps but it'd look super nice to retire in and start my shop there. But for now I'm still content with my Falkreath house. Something about the Lake view and the trees and the small stone hill next to it Another great video as always Bard!! Can't wait for next weeks video already!! Hope you have a lovely week!!

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Yay hi again Anska! Hope you've been well. ENB is really heavy, so I'd wager it's a miracle if your PC would run it with acceptable framerate. I'm glad you liked the mod selection of the video! I'm happy you noticed the music switch on the armor showcase, I've been trying to improve on the audio aspect of the editing, haha :D Serana Re-Imagined and Froztee's other creations are great, it's a good pick for her looks! I'll be taking 2 weeks, but see ya then, take care! 🙏✨

Beautiful!! May I ask what water option do you use for water for enb? thank you

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Thank you! I use the default one. Now I'm seeing there's a patch for Cabbage, in this video I didn't have it - so the water might look somehow off in this!

Idk why but your cabbage setup finally sells me on it, and i will shift away from Silent Horizons 2 Univ. Core. Would love to know your flora setup, it looks stunning!

Cabbage and mushrooms? If I combine that with my "potato" then I'll have almost a complete meal. My PC will definitely be warm enough ... 😂 I'm sorry, but it had to be. Why do you even call an ENB cabbage? I've always been a fan of good house mods, but Magpie is the best for me. I just love it! The house has everything I would like to have in the RL. I would hire an architect immediately and have the house built exactly like that if I had the money.

The name is fun haha, I love Cabbage. And yeah that house IRL would definitely be a sight!

Hey, was just wondering about something. I've been meaning to make a Claymore character (you know, the anime/manga), and I've been struggling to find an armor mod that fits. In case you're wondering, Claymores are half-human, half-monster female warriors that use light armor and, normally, a claymore. It'd be great if someone could help me on that. But even if that's not the case, thanks for the amazing videos from the get-go.

[@BardsCollegeGraduate]

Thanks for watching! I don't think I know any particularly fitting for this character, but I do hope someone knows a good armor! 🙏
